Message: [QUOTE="Lafayette, post: 5351397, member: 14008"] I don't like the +/- for each player. It's computed by score change while they clock minutes but there are so many reasons it does not resemble reality. 1. UConn fouls a 3 pt shooter and Hurley yanks the guy who did an inserts another player - say Ross. 3 foul shots made, Ross is -3. 2. On ball defense - you can deny, front, and get the ball out of your guy's hands but if anyone else fails at their job, you also get -2 for a bucket. 3. Players who don't shoot volume suffer the most. Ross is not a prolific shooter, quite the opposite, so he has limited + opportunities directly. Mullins and Karaban and Solo and Tarris probably have the most chances any given night and a player like that who gets hot would be smart to grab a bench seat and rest, hydrate. Not saying they do, but do game the system for +, they could. Anyway, stats and the eye test tell a lot more than any +/- will. [/QUOTE]
